Delightful
सावत्थियं जेतवने।
Sāvatthiyaṁ jetavane.
Near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove.
अथ खो सक्को देवानमिन्दो येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं अट्ठासि। एकमन्तं ठितो खो सक्को देवानमिन्दो भगवन्तं एतदवोच: “किं नु खो, भन्ते, भूमिरामणेय्यकन्”ति?
Atha kho sakko devānamindo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho sakko devānamindo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “kiṁ nu kho, bhante, bhūmirāmaṇeyyakan”ti?
And then Sakka, lord of gods, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and said to him, “Sir, what is a delightful place?”
“आरामचेत्या वनचेत्या, पोक्खरञ्ञो सुनिम्मिता; मनुस्सरामणेय्यस्स, कलं नाग्घन्ति सोळसिं।
“Ārāmacetyā vanacetyā, pokkharañño sunimmitā; Manussarāmaṇeyyassa, kalaṁ nāgghanti soḷasiṁ.
“Shrines in parks and forests, well-made lotus ponds, are not worth a sixteenth part of a delightful human being.
गामे वा यदि वारञ्ञे, निन्ने वा यदि वा थले; यत्थ अरहन्तो विहरन्ति, तं भूमिरामणेय्यकन्”ति।
Gāme vā yadi vāraññe, Ninne vā yadi vā thale; Yattha arahanto viharanti, Taṁ bhūmirāmaṇeyyakan”ti.
Whether in village or wilderness, in a valley or the uplands, wherever the perfected ones live is a delightful place.”
